Armed men killed about 100 people in an attack on a village in northern Burkina Faso, BBC reported.

Houses and a market were also burned down. No group claimed responsibility for this act of violence. But Islamist attacks are becoming more common in the country.
President declared three days of national mourning.

Another attack on Friday evening reportedly killed 14 people in the village of Tadaryat, about 150 kilometers north of Solkhan. Last month, 30 people were killed in an attack in eastern Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso, like many of its neighbors, is facing a deepening security crisis as armed groups raid and kidnap much of the region.
